Cashew Dill Moxarella

I’m so excited to share this recipe with you guys, as healthy ‘cheeze’ recipes are one of my absolute favourites! 🙂 It’s no secret that lots of people find it hard to cut out dairy and especially cheese from their diet, partly due to its addictive features. That’s why I’m always thrilled about healthy and equally tasty alternatives. I know that the whole cheese debate is a big issue, and I’m not claiming that this cashew dill moxarella will taste exactly like dairy mozzarella, BUT it has its very own amazing taste, and I personally find it much better than any processed vegan cheese alternatives that you can buy in the supermarkets.

First of all, this moxarella is not only plant-based, dairy-free, gluten-free, refined sugar-free and oil-free, but, since it’s based on cashews, it is also high in protein and extremely satisfying! So far I’ve been using it on pizzas only (I’ll soon upload a great pizza recipe – don’t worry), but it would also be great on grilled cheeze sandwiches, lasagna, etc. 🙂

Now the secret ingredient for the stretchy consistency is tapioca, a Brazilian starch extracted from cassava root. Since I couldn’t find tapioca flour at my local supermarkets, I just bought tapioca pearls and created my own flour by simply blending it up for a few minutes in my high-speed blender! So easy! 🙂
In case you can’t find tapioca pearls or tapioca flour anywhere, you can simply order it online! There are great brands available and they ship worldwide. Tapioca is pretty versatile and you can make yummy puddings or omelettes with it (I’ll also upload recipes for that soon)!

Another thing that’s great about this recipe is that you can basically modify it to your needs and taste buds. I added dill and several spices, as I find the combination really fitting and tasty, but feel free to get creative with all the herbs and spices you put inside. Or just keep it simple and plain and enjoy it without any herbs!
